Barriss Offee was a female Mirialan who was trained as a Padawan in the early days of the Clone Wars, but later she would ascend to a Jedi Knight before she turned against the Jedi Order. Under her master Luminara Unduli who she was loyal to, Barriss preferred studying Jedi texts to fighting and was a bit older than most Jedi Padawans. During the war, Offee struck up a friendship with Ahsoka Tano, even though they were different in personality, the two bonded through shared war experience. As the war continued, Offee came to see the Jedi's role was one in which they lost their way and had become servants of the Dark Side. She chose to go dawn a dark path by bombing the Jedi Temple as a means to stir further distrust of the Jedi. To conceal her treachery from the authorities, she set Ahsoka as the one responsible for the attack, but her acts were discovered and after sharing her views of the Jedi Order she was taken away.
Biography
Jedi Padawan of the Order
Born on a passenger liner in deep space, Barriss Offee was a female Mirialan who prior to the border dispute on Ansion was brought to the Jedi Temple, where she would spend her time in study of the Light Side of the Force. The Padawan to master Luminara Unduli, Offee spent most of her time by her side, whether during important meetings with Chancellor Palpatine or in combat such as the First Battle of Geonosis. At some point, she studied Lightsaber techniques with Tutso Mara, and the two grew to become close.
Powers and Abilities
The Force: Barriss Offee has the ability to use Floating Meditation and was a skilled Jedi Healer which came in handy during the Clone Wars. After turning against the Jedi Order, Offee became considerably more powerful, being able to Force Choke Letta Turmond to death without being in the same room, or even needing a live feed to focus. She also showed an impressive talent for stealth being able to evade the Force senses of both Ahsoka Tano and Asajj Ventress, both of whom had considerable Force senses. Offee was able to stun Ventress, a well known Jedi killer who had previously slain even Jedi Masters, effortlessly by ambushing her and telekinetically hurling debris at her before slamming her over the head with a pipe.
Abilities
- Lightsaber Skills: Like her Master, Offee practiced the Soresu fighting style and her ability with her lightsaber was great enough for her to survive the ferocious battle of Geonosis, even though she wasn't on the gunships that rescued the Jedi. She was skilled in tandem fighting where her movements would be in sync with her partners in battle. This could be seen clearly when fighting alongside her Master—together she and Unduli were a formidable team in combat. After turning to the dark side, Offee's fighting style grew more ferocious and she seemed to mirror Asajj Ventress' aggressive technique as noted by Ahsoka Tano who thought she was dueling Ventress when Offee attacked her, although this was more because of the fact that Offee was using Ventress' lightsabers rather than her fighting style. However, having dueled Ventress several times, Tano would probably have noticed if Offee was using a different style, so it is heavily implied that Offee was trained in the use of Makashi as well as Soresu. Offee showed skill in Jar'Kai, being able to overwhelm Tano and even hold her own against Anakin Skywalker, slicing her own lightsaber which Skywalker was using against her in half, despite the fact that she was wielding unfamiliar lightsabers.
